How to Make Ice Melt Pellets With Our Pellet Machine?

Case Study: Ice Melt Pellets Production for Korean Government Project

In winter, many regions experience heavy snowfall or even blizzards, which significantly affects transportation and daily mobility. As a result, the demand for snow melting pellets rises dramatically. Recently, we received a request from a Korean client who needed a reliable solution for melting snow around the Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae), the executive office and official residence of the South Korean President.

To address this, we utilized our pellet machine to produce high-quality driveway ice melt pellets, offering the client a tailor-made and effective solution.

The client had strict requirements for the snow melting pellets:

* They should not melt the snow too quickly or too slowly.
* They must be easy to store.
* The pellets should have high hardness and durability.

As this was a municipal-level project, the client brought their raw materials directly to our factory for testing. The materials provided were sea salt and magnesium flakes, blended in a 3:2 ratio. The required output was approximately 2 tons per hour.

We recommended our 55kW pellet machine model TCF550, which delivered excellent performance during testing.

Production Process:

First, the sea salt and magnesium flakes were thoroughly mixed. We pre-conditioned the pellet machine by grinding a mixture of oily materials and wood sawdust to polish the die, ensuring smooth pellet formation. Once the machine was ready, the blended raw materials were fed into the pelletizer.

The final ice melt pellets had a diameter of 4mm, with a length ranging between 2 to 5 cm.
